JOHNSON CITY (Oct. 10, 2018) – East Tennessee State University will celebrate National
Transfer Student Week during the second week of October.

This celebration was created on a national level to recognize the students who transfer
throughout the state, country and world to complete their educations. At ETSU, 31
percent of students have transferred from other institutions, and 71 percent of those
students have transferred from community colleges, according to Dr. Carla Warner,
director of Adult, Commuter and Transfer Services (ACTS) at ETSU.

As part of ETSU’s Division of Student Affairs, ACTS assists transfer and adult students
in making connections and building a sense of belonging within the university community.
Through a variety of campus programs and student advocacy and recognition events,
ACTS furthers the goal of supporting and welcoming transfer students by involving
the entire campus, including faculty, staff, students and administration.

“The goal of this week’s celebration is to recognize our transfer students and to
welcome and celebrate our transfer students as members of the Buccaneer family,” Warner
said.

The following free activities are planned as part of National Transfer Week:
